متن کاملStrategies for Optimizing Algal Biology for Enhanced Biomass Production
*Correspondence: Richard T. Sayre, Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico Consortium, 100 Entrada Dr, Los Alamos, NM 87544, USA e-mail: rsayre@newmexico consortium.org One of the most environmentally sustainable ways to produce high-energy density (oils) feed stocks for the production of liquid transportation fuels is from biomass. Photosynthetic carbon capture combined with biomass combust...
متن کاملEngineering photosynthetic light capture: impacts on improved solar energy to biomass conversion.
The main function of the photosynthetic process is to capture solar energy and to store it in the form of chemical 'fuels'. Increasingly, the photosynthetic machinery is being used for the production of biofuels such as bio-ethanol, biodiesel and bio-H2. Fuel production efficiency is directly dependent on the solar photon capture and conversion efficiency of the system. Green algae (e.g. Chlamy...
متن کاملOptimization of Light-Harvesting Pigment Improves Photosynthetic Efficiency.
Maximizing light capture by light-harvesting pigment optimization represents an attractive but challenging strategy to improve photosynthetic efficiency. Here, we report that loss of a previously uncharacterized gene, HIGH PHOTOSYNTHETIC EFFICIENCY1 (HPE1), optimizes light-harvesting pigments, leading to improved photosynthetic efficiency and biomass production. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thalian...
متن کاملEfficiency of solar energy conversion as a function of light intensity*
The kinetic model has been developed for disserting the efficiency of solar energy conversion as a function of light intensity. A comparison of theory with experimental results shows that the model provides a satisfactory agreement. We have estimated the essential parameters of photosynthetic systems (the size of the photosynthetic antenna, the rate of electron transport, the correlation betwee...
